As much as I like Danny Hart... that camera is awful! The angle is bad, the quality only up to 360p? Whats the point of that (I guess the camera can record in at least 720) Also its not very wide compared to the nearly 180 degree view of Gopros etc...

I've been meaning to say the same thing for months. With all the people employed by these teams and it the marketing investment they represent from the bike manufacturers there's no-one with the nous and initiative to walk over and flip the guys' cameras up by 20 degrees so we can see more then 5 feet beyond the front wheel?

It is likely angled that way to get a really good video of the ground he is travelling over so when the team reviews the video after they can help him choose the lines. While these videos are nice I expect they primarily are not for our benefit, but for team training/line choice.

I just played all four over the table whilst i tucked in to my breakfast (eggs on bagel)... Loic was the only one that stopped me eating! Very special! I think i remember he got 5th here as a junior too? This could be the weekend that 2 plate becomes a 1 :-)

Hard to tell who's fastest, but who cares, its all on tomorrows run. I'd much rather see them from the track side than pov with helmet cams. I don't care what brand of camera you stick on your helmet, in my opinion you will always look daft.

Chest mounts make it harder to see the track because the chest moves around much more than the head. Heads are like a steady-cam mount.Absorbing shock through the neck and keeping a constant viewing angle.
On the other hand chest mounts do give a better indication of the roughness of the track and what's going on with the bike handling.
You can either see the track well or experience the riding well, not both.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt4DFiipXps heres a 1440p chestmount of a friend riding. I think it's great as you see much more the surroundings than with 1080p so you get less sick watching it and you also see a good portion of the bike aswell as the track

idk man, the drift has a far better shape and size than a gopro, but for pure functionality and versatility gopro every time. and film quality is gopro any day of the week. Sony i cant really comment on, they seem a tad too long to be as good as a gopro for chest mounts/front helmet mounts, but as i said i cant really say whether they're any good as i havent tried one. To be completely honest, i do have a feeling that youre just paying for a logo with gopros a lot of the time, but my hero 4 black was free, so i cant complain!
